Q. Discuss
issues related to Long Term Memory and short Term Memory. (DEC 16 / MAY 16) 5M
Issues related to Short-term memory
Short-term memory, typically, requires concentrated effort
on the part of the individual concerned. If they become distracted by
environmental factors then that concentration can be broken and the content of
short-term memory may be lost. For instance, even a momentary distraction can
cause a user to forget the name of a file or of a password that they havent
used before.
Issues
related to Long-term memory
Long-term memory, typically, it is less easy to
remember information that has passed from short-term to long-term memory. In
consequence, a greater source of distraction or disruption would be required to
impair their memory. A, typically, example is that even expert computer users
may make mistakes if they attempt to perform two familiar tasks in parallel.
Both may draw upon long-term memory but there can be interference effects.
